  • The Local Area
    The Local Area The Costa Blanca The Costa Blanca, or White Coast, is made up of two clearly distinct scenic sectors. To the north, a line of mountains runs parallel to the sea, descending periodically to form cliffs, and, to the south, a vast plain of sand patches, palm trees and salt deposits make up the backdrop for the beaches. From cosmopolitan towns and resorts where life goes on 24 hours a day to sleepy little villages where the peace and tranquillity is unique, the Costa Blanca is the kind of place, which offers something for everyone. The Costa Blanca has an excellent year round climate and the humidity is low. It enjoys more than 2,800 hours of sunshine throughout the year and an average annual temperature of 19.3°C. The beaches are one of the biggest attractions and most of them comprise of clean, white sand. The Costa Blanca has been awarded more blue flags than anywhere else in Europe. Most of the resorts offer a wide range of water sports and there are plenty of golf courses to choose from. The area is well serviced by two airports. Alicante (El Altet) airport is situated in the middle of the Costa Blanca and Murcia (San Javier) airport is further to the south. A new international airport is currently under construction in the Murcia region and will provide even more flights to and from international destinations in the near future. Alicante Alicante is in the bay formed by the Cabo de las Huertas and the Cabo de Santa Pola and at the foot of Mount Bencantil.

  • Airbnb Offer in Spain—Spatial Analysis of the Pattern and Determinants of Its Distribution
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Airbnb Offer in Spain—Spatial Analysis of the Pattern and Determinants of Its Distribution Czesław Adamiak 1,2,* , Barbara Szyda 1 , Anna Dubownik 1 and David García-Álvarez 3 1 Department of Spatial Planning and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, 87-100 Toru´n,Poland; [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (A.D.) 2 Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences, Umeå University, 901 87 Umeå, Sweden 3 Departamento de Análisis Geográfico Regional y Geografía Física, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, University of Granada, 18072 Granada, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-56-611-2571 Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 15 March 2019; Published: 22 March 2019 Abstract: The rising number of homes and apartments rented out through Airbnb and similar peer-to-peer accommodation platforms cause concerns about the impact of such activity on the tourism sector and property market. To date, spatial analysis on peer-to-peer rental activity has been usually limited in scope to individual large cities. In this study, we take into account the whole territory of Spain, with special attention given to cities and regions with high tourist activity. We use a dataset of about 250 thousand Airbnb listings in Spain obtained from the Airbnb webpage, aggregate the numbers of these offers in 8124 municipalities and 79 tourist areas/sites, measure their concentration, spatial autocorrelation, and develop regression models to find the determinants of Airbnb rentals’ distribution. We conclude that apart from largest cities, Airbnb is active in holiday destinations of Spain, where it often serves as an intermediary for the rental of second or investment homes and apartments.
